America should not be selling our nat gas to Europe or anywhere else. It's a strategic resource for Americans. We'll see a costly winter because the IRG will not bend. They expect war. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Which Countries Depend the Most on Persian Gulf Oil and Gas (Gift Article)
Nations thousands of miles away from war are feeling the pain of their energy supplies suddenly vanishing. Some are feeling the loss more acutely than others.

I'm not a Trump supporter, even though I'm a registered Republican. But Iran is dangerous to a lot of countries. Oil and nat gas prices will go higher in Europe and Asia. We have enough nat gas but Trump is got a heating oil and nat gas problem in America this winter. Prices are high & going higher

Oil hit $115 a gallon but nobody's talking about the price of natural gas. America should not export that commodity. It should be protected for Americans as a strategic asset. It could be a very expensive winter, as oil and gas companies pay him off to keep prices high with more war.

Oil prices hit $115/barrel this morning as the war escalated and Trump and Iran both threatened to destroy key oil and gas installations in the Persian Gulf.

AI can be useful and I use it every single day, but autonymous AI systems are breaking into corporate and government IT systems...and it will lie, cheat and extort. We've seen examples. No company will risk massive awsuits because of rogue AI agents. The bubble will blow up. Banks will sue.

Here's an iconic moment from a serious Trump supporter who invested hundreds of millions of $$s in Donald Trump. It will stain Elon Musk for the rest of his life.

Trump is dismembering America's democracy and has become an autocrat unchallenged by Republicans in his own party who hate him but won't defy him. Trump is dangerous to America and the world. He's a lying, tax-cheating, slandering, swaggering psychopath who openly asks for bribes.

Maybe in his fever dreams is he on a "Mission From God". Mostly he solicits bribes, damages America, insults judges and prosecutors and makes a fool out of himself every single day. I'd like to send those 77 million people who voted for him down to Mississippi where they belong.

Trump attacks Apple because they know they can't make a cell phone here for less than $3000...and he attacks Amazon for warning their customers that higher prices are coming because of Trump's trade war and tariffs. Trump never accepts blame for his own misconduct & mistakes.

No one can save Tesla, not even the vaulted Musk. It's battery technology is obsolete and car sales are dropping like a stone. It's robots are going nowhere...too many engineering problems for humanoid robots. Tesla is a cult stock that will drop to $16 a share trading at 8X earnings.

Skeptico @skepticokasselini.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
Tesla is NOT a robot company...it never sold even one robot and probably won't ever sell many. Musk is good at hype. They do sell batteries but their technology is now obsolete. Chinese batteries are better, charge faster and are less expensive to product.

Skeptico @skepticokasselini.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
Tesla stock price keeps rising but it's sales and market share keep dropping. Sales down last month in Europe 50%. China is even worse. They used to be #1 in China...2 weeks ago their sales were #10. It'd doubtful they can keep their factory open there. Expect a double digit price for Tesla.

Trump keeps telling America how great he is, with a long list of his many important accomplishments, but he's mostly an unstable, dishonest, bribe-taking, extortionist who specializes in a Presidential Protection Racket, extorting millions, using his office to enrich himself!

Skeptico @skepticokasselini.bsky.social · 24/05/2025
Here's what George Conway said about Trump...and every word is true. We have a President who suffers from serious psychiatric problems as he takes a wrecking ball to America with outrageous tariffs, a presidential protection racket and enriching himself illegally using the powers of his office.

That the House passed a bill that included tax cuts for the wealthy means Congress is ignoring the elephant in the room....$37 trillion in federal debt going to $50 trillion within 8 years. It shows that our democracy has failed. Just interest on that debt will be about $1.5 trillion by December.

It's shocking that so few people are thinking about it but AI will be highly disruptive and white collar jobs will be lost...a lot of jobs. When that happens, people can't pay for cars, mortgages or student loans. Then we get a financial crisis. Everybody needs to concentrate on what's coming!

Inflation expectations are the worst in over 40 years. Blame Trump and his idiotic tariffs. There was no need for tariffs and no need for the inflation tariffs will bring. Courts could cancel Trump's tariffs because he doesn't have the legal authority to impose them. Those cases are now in court.

The Qatar 747 that Trump claims was gifted, would require at least $1 billion in retrofits to make it safe to use for a President. And it could take years. American taxpayers would be paying for the upgrades. It probably won't happen.

I'm a registered Republican but think Donald Trump should be impeached and removed for outrageous corruption. The only way that can happen is most Republicans in the Senate and some in the House are defeated. I will vote for Democrats to remove Republicans who are too afraid of Trump to remove him.

Trump attacks the Supreme Court and claims the radical left holds them hostage. He lost 7 to 2...and all of his appointees voted against Trump on the issue of deportation without a hearing....at least I think that's what he's referring to. He doesn't say.

Tesla stock is going up but sales in Europe and China are cratering as EV sales are up in both places. Sales on average in Europe are down about 50% depending on the country. In Sweden Tesla sales are down over 80%.

Trump is earning hundreds of millions of $$, maybe billions as he bulldozes regulatory agencies and regulating employees who investigate fraud, theft, misconduct, while Trump himself reaps a fortune in crypto and can't be investigated or charged because there are no regulators left.

Trump's violations of the Emoluments Clause during his first term is child's play compared to the rip-off and crimes that Trump is conspiring in now. He's deeply involved in crypto-scams as he bulldozers regulation of crypto so that nearly everything is allowed.

Trump is building a crypto empire that's obviously corrupt and shady. It's now a top news story. And it could be his undoing. He's engaged in a conspiracy to extort and a vehicle to accept bribes and protection money.
